Trinetreshwar Mahadev Temple, Tarnetar: Aarti & Puja Schedule

• Morning aarti after the shrine opens and the Shivling is bathedapprox 6:00 to 6:30 AM
• Madhyan (midday) aarti, followed by the rest-hour closureapprox 12:00 noon
• Sandhya (evening) aarti, the most atmospheric daily ritualapprox 7:00 to 7:30 PM

The daily worship at Trinetreshwar follows the standard Shaiva arc of a morning, midday, and evening aarti, wrapped around the abhishek of the Shivling. The morning aarti, soon after the roughly 6 AM opening, follows the ritual bathing of the ling in water and milk and the offering of bilva (bel) leaves. A midday aarti precedes the rest-hour closure, and the evening sandhya aarti, around 7 to 7:30 PM, is the one most visitors try to catch for its lamps and bell in the fading light over the kunds.

Because this is a modest village shrine, treat every clock time here as indicative and seasonal rather than fixed. The intensity rises sharply on Shiva-significant days: Pradosh evenings, every Shravan Monday, and above all Maha Shivratri, when a night-long jagran and continuous rudra-abhishek replace the ordinary schedule. During the Tarnetar fair the aarti is performed to vast crowds, and the sacred sound of it carries over the folk music and the fairground. If a specific aarti matters to your trip, phone ahead or ask a local the evening before.
